Registration is open for Summer Fest 2025, which will be held at Waterford Mennonite Church in Goshen, June 13-14, Friday evening through Saturday afternoon. All are welcome! Please register if you plan to attend all or most of the event, which includes worship, seminars, fun fest activities, food, fellowship, and a delegate session.

You may join worship services, either in person or by livestream, without registering. (Livestream link to follow.) Worship services will be on Friday at 6:30 pm, and on Saturday at 9:00 am and 4:15 pm.

Celebrate Conference Sunday: Worship materials and a recorded sermon are available for your June 15 worship service (or another Sunday that fits your worship schedule). These resources invite congregations to engage in the Summer Fest worship themes: I Corinthians 13:7-8a, Love Has No Borders. They also offer support to pastors and worship leaders who will be at Summer Fest on June 13-14. These resources were sent to your inbox and are also available on the Summer Fest webpage.

weGive Week June 16-20: In the week following Summer Fest, IMMC will celebrate the generosity of individual members like you who help us close the gap! While the majority of our income comes from congregations, we could not do all that we do without the contributions of individuals as well. weGive is our donor group that helps to sustain the work and ministry of IMMC and we are currently working to grow this group. We invite you to join us! Watch your inbox for more info June 16-20.

  • Love has no borders! “Love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. It is, in fact, the one thing that still stands when all else has fallen.” 1 Cor 13:7-8a
  • IMMC’s administrative coordinator position is filled… Andrea Baker Dean has removed “interim” from her job title! Andrea brings the needed gifts and experience to the role and blends well with IMMC culture and staff. We’re so grateful she has chosen to stay!
  • Joanne, Sharon, and moderator-elect Becky Helmuth attended MC USA Constituency Leadership Council (CLC) meetings in Wichita, KS, May 9-10. Meaningful connections and conversations happened as we reviewed the new Abuse Prevention and Accountability document and heard various updates from MC USA and affiliated organizations. Joanne joined Randy Spaulding in leading worship services for the event.
  • Joanne preached at Wildwood in April and at Kern Road in May. Sharon preached at Belmont Mennonite Church and Belmont Neighborhood Fellowship in April.
  • Joanne met with Anabaptist CEOs at Camp Friedenswald on April 17.
  • Sunnyside pastors Maria Hosler Byler and Osée Tshiwape led a service of Solidarity and Prayer for the Democratic Republic of Congo on May 17. MCC and AIMM representatives gave updates on the ongoing conflict in the region and Sharon Yoder led in a prayer of lament and petition for peace. IMMC currently has three pastors who come from DR Congo: Osée Tshiwape; Ndunge Sefu (recently concluded interim ministry at Kalamazoo Mennonite Fellowship); and Simon Muange (pastoring an emerging congregation in Detroit).
  • Updated Pastor Salary Guidelines for 2025-26 are now available on the MC USA website. MC USA and IMMC encourage congregations to follow these guidelines as closely as financially possible, to communicate your commitment to quality leadership and show support for your pastor.
  • Leadership Enhancement Team had a training for our congregational coaches on April 30th led by Shana Peachey Boshart. LET is looking to revamp the congregational coach program and will be looking into similar trainings in the future.
